>community at lists.openmoko.org>http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community>I'd like to see one that isn't based heavily on Java other than
openmoko. I had been waiting for this phone for 3 years because it just
happened to be my forte. I know it's current usage as a phone can be
daunting or limited but from the advancements I've seen just since I've
started watching the community I can't wait to see what happens before
the year is even over.
Usability has improved, according to what I've read before I purchased
my FR, by leaps and bounds in the past 6 months, I wait to see what the
next 6 months hold. Also the OpenMoko software is going to change by
leaps and bounds when FSO becomes stabilized. Software will have a base
platform from which to build upon. It will be up to the developer to
choose a front end and a language but the calls will all go to dbus.
I do agree, the people who run that vendor's site SHOULD state it is
still a developer centric release as of right now but there's nothing
that will change what has already happened.
If you're not impressed then please submit bug reports, feature
requests, etc to the mailing lists, bug tracker or even the IRC chat. If
there's one thing I have learned since joining the OpenMoko community,
it is that people love to help in any way they can. I have worked with
two developers so far to work on making a gui for flashing or managing
your openmoko. I haven't contributed much code if any but I was just
happy to help. Isn't that the point of open source and free software,
/to share the knowledge you have with someone who has knowledge you
might not/?
